In a surprising turn of events, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley Bennett have decided to end their marriage, marking the end of a journey that began with childhood memories and culminated in a star-studded wedding.
According to court documents from Cook County, Illinois, Kirsten Corley Bennett filed for divorce from Chance the Rapper last Friday. The news follows the rapper’s earlier announcement in April, when he took to Instagram Stories to share their separation, stating they reached this decision mutually and with gratitude for their shared moments. The couple, who tied the knot in March 2019, vowed to remain dedicated co-parents to their daughters, 9-year-old Kensli and 5-year-old Marli Grace.
March 2019 was a significant milestone for Chance and Corley Bennett as they exchanged vows during a lavish ceremony in Newport Beach, California. The event was graced by notable guests like Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Dave Chappelle, and Kirk Franklin, who also performed. Even before this grand celebration, the couple had a legal marriage ceremony in Chicago in December 2018, as noted in the Chicago Tribune.
Their love story dates back to 2003 when Chance first encountered Corley Bennett at his mother’s office party. A nine-year-old Chance was smitten by a young Corley’s lip-sync performance to Destiny’s Child. Chance reminisced about this magical moment on social media, highlighting the special connection that sparked between them that day.
Despite their separation, both Chance and Corley Bennett express a strong commitment to their daughters. They have publically emphasized their intention to continue raising their children together, signaling a cooperative approach to co-parenting.
While Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley Bennett’s romantic chapter concludes, they remain united in their dedication to family, ensuring a supportive environment for their children.
